No worries, if you want to talk about religious themes in prog, there are plenty of threads already made to serve that purpose. These just become troll-fests for those who like that kind of thing.

Oh god no.

Not again. We have religion/atheism/pastafarianism/deism/paganism/troll threads for this purpose.

(No offence intended to the poster, but we have a few thousand of these threads per day)

...lyrics put me off so, so much! Being an atheist it really makes me cringe to hear some of the lines. The 'Dancing with eternal glory , whirlwind' is probably the best (or worst) example of this. An epic 12 minute song, but it's all about God!

"...and you're dancing with eternal glory, taking that step to another land. you are dancing with eternal glory, don't be afraid, go and take his hand"

Dead It all really brings the album down a few levels to me, anyone else finding this? Or are most okay with it? I mean, I have nothing against Christian bands, but Transatlantic throw it right in your face in some songs...
